Hillbilly Politeness

For some reason, the people here pride themselves on being polite. Unfortunately, they don't have a clue what that means.
An example might be in order. The other day, I was out working on my house. The quarantine has given me a lot of time to catch up on things. I was using power tools, cutting wood for my porch, when a power company truck drove by. They said hello and waved. I waved back. Seemingly, just a friendly gesture. That is, until they stopped 50 feet down the road to cut off  the power for a half hour. 
I understand the need to cut off the power, I really do, but what mental midget would insist on saying hello to someone actively engaged in using power tools, and then not tell them they were going to cut off the power? The type of mental midget that has a psychotic need to be seen, but really doesn't give a crap about anyone else, and even takes pleasure in causing problems, as long as they can remain the "polite" one. That's the kind of mental midget.
